MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2007 question paper
9709 MATHEMATICS
9709/01
Paper 1, maximum raw mark 75
This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of
the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not
indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners meeting before marking began.
All Examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in
candidates scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills
demonstrated.
Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the
examination.
CIE will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes.
CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2007 question papers for most IGCSE, GCE
Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses.

Mark Scheme Notes

Marks are of the following three types:
M
Method mark, awarded for a valid method applied to the problem. Method
marks are not lost for numerical errors, algebraic slips or errors in units.
However, it is not usually sufficient for a candidate just to indicate an intention
of using some method or just to quote a formula; the formula or idea must be
applied to the specific problem in hand, e.g. by substituting the relevant
quantities into the formula. Correct application of a formula without the
formula being quoted obviously earns the M mark and in some cases an M
mark can be implied from a correct answer.
Accuracy mark, awarded for a correct answer or intermediate step correctly

obtained. Accuracy marks cannot be given unless the associated method
mark is earned (or implied).
Mark for a correct result or statement independent of method marks.
When a part of a question has two or more "method" steps, the M marks are
generally independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise; and similarly
when there are several B marks allocated. The notation DM or DB (or dep*) is used
to indicate that a particular M or B mark is dependent on an earlier M or B
(asterisked) mark in the scheme. When two or more steps are run together by the
candidate, the earlier marks are implied and full credit is given.
The symbol implies that the A or B mark indicated is allowed for work correctly
following on from previously incorrect results. Otherwise, A or B marks are given for
correct work only. A and B marks are not given for fortuitously "correct" answers or
results obtained from incorrect working.
Note:
B2 or A2 means that the candidate can earn 2 or 0.

B2/1/0 means that the candidate can earn anything from 0 to 2.
The marks indicated in the scheme may not be subdivided. If there is genuine doubt
whether a candidate has earned a mark, allow the candidate the benefit of the
doubt. Unless otherwise indicated, marks once gained cannot subsequently be lost,
e.g. wrong working following a correct form of answer is ignored.
Wrong or missing units in an answer should not lead to the loss of a mark unless
the scheme specifically indicates otherwise.
For a numerical answer, allow the A or B mark if a value is obtained which is correct
to 3 s.f., or which would be correct to 3 s.f. if rounded (1 d.p. in the case of an
angle). As stated above, an A or B mark is not given if a correct numerical answer
arises fortuitously from incorrect working. For Mechanics questions, allow A or B
marks for correct answers which arise from taking g equal to 9.8 or 9.81 instead of
10.
The following abbreviations may be used in a mark scheme or used on the scripts:
AEF
Any Equivalent Form (of answer is equally acceptable)
AG
Answer Given on the question paper (so extra checking is needed to

ensure that the detailed working leading to the result is valid)
BOD
Benefit of Doubt (allowed when the validity of a solution may not be

absolutely clear)
CAO
Correct Answer Only (emphasising that no "follow through" from a

previous error is allowed)
CWO
Correct Working Only - often written by a fortuitous' answer
ISW
Ignore Subsequent Working
MR
Misread
PA
Premature Approximation (resulting in basically correct work that is

insufficiently accurate)
SOS
See Other Solution (the candidate makes a better attempt at the same
question)
SR
Special Ruling (detailing the mark to be given for a specific wrong

solution, or a case where some standard marking practice is to be varied
in the light of a particular circumstance)
Penalties
MR -1
A penalty of MR -1 is deducted from A or B marks when the data of a

question or part question are genuinely misread and the object and
difficulty of the question remain unaltered. In this case all A and B marks
then become "follow through " marks. MR is not applied when the
candidate misreads his own figures - this is regarded as an error in
accuracy. An MR-2 penalty may be applied in particular cases if agreed
at the coordination meeting.
PA -1
This is deducted from A or B marks in the case of premature

approximation. The PA -1 penalty is usually discussed at the meeting.
